ANNUAL REPORT - 2006 INMATE GRIEVANCE PROGRAM ANNUAL REPORT 2006
I. INTRODUCTION
The Inmate Grievance Program (IGP) functions under Departmental Directive #4040 entitled "Inmate Grievance Program" and Departmental Directive #4041 entitled "Inmate Grievance Program Modification Plan" and is established by the statutory mandates of Section 139 NYS Correction Law and N.Y.C.R.R., Title 7, Part 701.
The Inmate Grievance Program provides each inmate an orderly, fair, simple and expeditious method ofresolving grievances pursuant to Section 139, NYS Correction Law. This grievance program includes procedures for inmates to resolve allegations of discriminatory treatment in accordance with the State Commission of Correction regulation 9 NYCRR Part 7695. Grievances filed prior to July 7, 1990 were reviewed by the NYS Commission of Correction and responded to by the Commissioner. Correction Law 139 was amended by Chapter 373 of the Laws of 1990 deleting the requirement that the Commission of Correction review individual grievances, yet required the Commission of Correction to review and assess the grievance process on an annual basis. The elimination of the advisory step ensures that the grievance process is more expeditious while at the same time allows the Commission of Correction to provide oversight.
On September 28, 1992, the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Associate Attorney General, pursuant to the authority conferred by Title 42, United States Code, Section 1997e and Part 40 of Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations granted full certification that the NYS Department of Correctional Services Inmate Grievance Program is in substantial compliance with the standards set forth in Part 40 of Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations. Based on this certification, the court may order that prior to litigating claims under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983, New York State inmates shall exhaust any remedies they have with respect to the claim through the Inmate Grievance Program. For the pwpose of this order, the disposition of the Central Office Review Committee (CORC) constitutes sufficient proof of exhaustion. In 1996, the federal government passed the Prisoner's Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) which enacted the same requirement for all inmates.
On May 29, 2001, the United States Supreme Court decision in Booth v. Churner required that prisoners exhaust their administrative remedies before bringing damage lawsuits in federal court even if the administrative remedy does not provide damages. Subsequently, on February 26, 2002, the United States Supreme Court decision in Porter v. Nuss/e held that the exhaustion requirement applies to all inmate suits about prison life, whether they involve general circumstances or particular episodes and whether they allege excessive force or some other wrong. These decisions, along with the PLRA have had an impact on the number of grievances being appealed to CORC. The impact is addressed in Part IV of this report.
After an extensive review, the revision of Directive #4040 was issued on July 12, 2006. This revision included changes such as increases in the time frames at all levels, including the, filing of the grievance by the inmate. In addition, the processing of grievances after transfer was revised to allow the inmate to determine if he/she wished to appeal the decision. Also, a new section of the directive was established to describe procedures already in place for the processing I of Strip Search/Strip Frisk grievances. The purpose of these revisions was to ensure that the IGP remains an orderly, fair, simple and expeditious method of resolving grievances and, at the same time, remains in compliance with the ·standards set forth in Part 40 of Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations and the Federal Certification.
II. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF IGP WORKLOAD
The number of grievances filed in 2006 was 44,484, a decrease from the 45,345 filed in 2005. This is a decrease of 861 grievances as compared to the increase of758 grievances realized last year. However, the trend in the last seven years is one of fluctuating from an increase to a decrease each year and vice-versa with a high in 1999 of 45,797 grievances and a low of 41)81in2000. The non-calendared inmate contacts decreased steadily from 37,999 in 1999 to the 25,625 in 2005. In 2006, however, non-calendared contacts increased 3,911 to 29,536. The trend by inmates to file a grievance so that the administrative remedies can be exhausted has continued. Thus, the inmates who do file grievances are tending to exhaust the administrative remedy with an appeal to CORC.
This 2006 total of 44,484 represents a decrease of 1.9%, while the inmate population decreased by .07% from the 63,360 average in 2005 to an average of 63,316 in 2006 (refer to graphs #1 and #2). In 2006, there were 702.5 grievance submissions per one thousand inmates, which is 1.8% less than the 715. 7 grievance submissions per one thousand inmates in 2005.
During 2006, IGP field staff recorded approximately 29,536 non-calendared inmate contacts which clarified issues and/or enabled inmates to resolve problems without the submission of calendared grievances. Non-calendared contacts in 2006 reflect an increase of 3,911 from the 25,625 non-calendared contacts logged in 2005.
In 2006, there were 4, 796 grievances ( l 0. 78% of the total filed) informally resolved by the Inmate Grievance Resolution Committee (IGRC). The number of informal resolutions realized by the IGRC in 2006 is less than the 5,324 grievances (11.74% of the total filed) in 2005. This is a decrease of 528 informal resolutions, or a 9.9% decrease (refer to graphs #3 and #4).
There were 31,409 Inmate Grievance Resolution C_ommittee (IGRC) hearings (70.61 % of total filed) held statewide in 2006, a decrease from the 31,426 hearings (69.30% of total filed) in 2005. This reflects a decrease of 17 IGRC hearings. This decrease is consistent with the decrease in total grievances filed statewide (refer to graphs #5 and #6).
In 2006, there were 2,646 grievances closed and dismissed by the IGRC in accordance with Directive #4040, Section V. A. 5. This represents 5.9% of all grievances filed. For comparison, in 2005 a total of 2, 796 grievances, or 6.2% of all grievances filed, were closed and dismissed by the IGRC.
A total of25,189 grievances were processed at the Superintendent's level in 2006. This reflects a decrease of 112 grievances, or a 0.4% decrease, from the 25,301 grievances addressed by the Superintendent in 2005. The 2006 figures indicate 56.62% of all grievances filed were processed at the Superintendent's level (refer to graphs #7 and #8).

The total number of grievances resolved/closed at the facility level was 29,953 or 67 .3% of all grievances filed. This reflects a decrease of 270 grievances from the 30,223 grievances closed at the facility level in 2005. For clarification, the number of grievances closed at the facility level has been computed by subtracting the number of grievances heard at CORC from the total number of grievances filed (refer to graphs #9 and #10).
As of February 1, 1994, any grievances related to allegations of violations of Directive #4910, Control of & Search for Contraband, during a strip search/strip frisk were reported on the Code Classification Sheet in Codes 25.1 for Strip Search and 25.2 for Strip Frisk. The strip search and strip frisk grievances were carried on the clerk's log and supplemental sheets in the same manner as all other grievances. In 2006, the number of grievances under Code 25. l (20-Strip Search) and 25.2 (34-Strip Frisk) totaled 54. This compares to 47 in 2005, 58 in 2004, 49 in 2003, 65 in 2002, 82 in 2001, 72 in 2000, 74 in 1999, 74 in 1998, 78 in 1997, 82 in 1996, and 86 in 1995.
Beginning in September 1999, grievances related to Native American issues were to be monitored for two years. These grievances have ''Native American,, in the title and were reported monthly. Through 2000, there were 54 grievances regarding Native American issues reported. In 2001, there were 50 grievances in this category. Through July 2002, an additional 21 Native American grievances were reported. Although, still tracked in the same manner with the use of the title, subsequent reports have not been requested since July 2002. A category regarding the Department's Smoke Free Policy was added to the Code Classification Sheet in 1999 as Code 23.1. There were 37 grievances filed in this category in 2006, as compared to 41in2005, 84 in 2004, 53 in 2003, 64 in 2002, 124 in 2001, and 158 in 2000.
Effective July 2000, any grievances related to allegations of pat frisks of female inmates were reported on the Code Classification Sheet under Code 25.3, Pat Frisk (Female Inmates). In the last six months of 2000, there were 3 grievances filed in this category. This total increased to 7 in 2001, 5 in 2002, 11 in 2003, 7 in 2004, and 9 in 2005. In 2006, there were 3 grievances reported.
In 2004, any grievances related to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) were filed in a new category as Code 22.1. There were 206 grievances filed in this category that year. In 2005, there were 170 grievances filed under Code 22.1, a decrease of 36 grievances. In 2006, there were 152 grievances filed under this code, a decrease of 18 from 2005.
3 Ill. IGP STAFF
Central Office staff made approximately 100 facility visits during 2006. Inmate Grievance Central Office staff conducted orientation/training sessions for 691 Training Academy Correctional Officer recruits, and 124 Sergeants in the Training Academy Sergeant's School. In addition to regularly scheduled weekly CORC meetings, IGP Central Office staff attended 40 meetings, conferences, ceremonies, training/meetings and various events.
During 2006, 9 facility staff transitions occurred due to reassignment, promotion and resignations. There were 3 Central Office staff transitions due to lateral transfer or promotion. All Inmate Grievance Programs that had staff transitions during 2006 received assistance from the regional program coordinators or other facility staff in order to help maintain the programs until replacement of staff was accomplished.
In 2006, staff transitions occurred at the following facilities:
Albion C.F. - The IGP Supervisor transferred to Gowanda C.F. in February 2005. The Rec. Supervisor monitored the IGP until a new IGP Supervisor was hired in February 2006.
Bedford Hills C.F. - The IGP Supervisor accepted a promotion as a Correction Counselor at Arthur Kill C.F., however, remained at Bedford Hills to supervise the IGP until a replacement is found. Cayuga C.F. - The IGP Supervisor accepted a Correction Counselor position in December 2006, and agreed to supervise the program until a replacement is named.
Elmira C.F. - The IGP Supervisor took a lateral transfer to Watertown C.F. in December 2005. A new IGP Supervisor was hired in May 2006.
Five Points C.F. -The IGP Supervisor transferred to Wende C.F. in November 2006. The program is being supervised by the Rec. Program Leader and the IGRC Officer until a new IGP Supervisor is hired.

Greene C.F. - The IGP Supervisor retired in June 2006 and a new IGP Supervisor was hired in August 2006.
Great Meadow C.F. - The IGP Supervisor accepted a Correction Counselor position at Washington C.F. but continued to monitor the IGP, along with the IGP Supervisor from Mt. McGregor, until the new IGP Supervisor was hired in November 2006.
Shawangunk C.F. - The IGP Supervisor accepted a promotion to Correction Counselor in March 2006. He continued to supervise the IGP until a new IGP Supervisor was hired in May, 2006.
4 Wende C.F. - The IGP Supervisor accepted a promotion to a Steward position at Livingston, C.F. in October 2006 and a new IGP Supervisor was hired in November 2006.
In 2006, the following staff transitions occurred in Central Office as follows:
April - A new IGP Supervisor Trainee was hired. The Clerk II accepted a promotion in another office.
Scmtember - A KBS I was hired, however, returned to her hold item two weeks later in another agency.
November - Two KBS l's were hired, one from the Civil Service List and one transferred from another agency.
During 2006, Central Office staff responded to 2, 779 letters from inmates, as well as correspondence from inmates' family and friends, compared to 3,335 in 2005. Central Office staff researched and copied grievance case materials for 51 Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests from various persons and agencies. Relevant to inmate litigation, Central Office staff researched and gathered grievance documents for 386 inquiries from the Attorney General's staff, a decrease from the 547 in 2005.
5 IV. Central Office Review Committee (CORC)
The CORC is the final appellate level of the Inmate Grievance Program. The CORC consists of the Deputy Commissioner and Counsel, Deputy Commissioner for Correctional Facilities, Deputy Commissioner for Program Services, Deputy Commissioner for Administrative Services, and the Deputy Commissioner and Chief Medical Officer, or their designees expressly authorized to act for them. The CORC :functions on behalf of the Commissioner and under his authority. The CORC decisions have the effect of directives.
The PLRA of 1995, amended 42 U.S.C. Section 1997e(a), requires that inmates must exhaust available administrative remedies before litigating over prison conditions. This has been a major factor in the increase in grievance appeals. In addition, there have been two United States Supreme Court decisions that have been a catalyst in this increase. On May 29, 2001, the court decided in Booth v. Churner that even if the administrative remedy does not provide monetary damages, it is still an available remedy. Subsequently, on February 26, 2002, the court, in Porter v. Nussle decided that exhaustion is required in every situation, regardless of the nature of the inmate's underlying claim.
Grievance appeals to CORC decreased from the 15,122 in 2005 to 14,531in2006. This reflects a decrease of 591 grievance appeals. The CORC addressed 9,548 grievance appeals in 1999, 10,527 in 2000, 11,754 in 2001, 12,395 in 2002 and 14,432 in 2003, and 15,374 in 2004. Since 1999, the CORC has realized an annual increase of 4,983 grievance appeals, a 52.2% increase.
The number of the CORC responses to grievance appeals is affected by 'carry-overs' at the beginning (grievances filed in 2005 but received at the CORC in 2006) and the end (grievances filed in 2006 but answered by the CORC in 2007) of each year. The 14,531 total is the actual number of grievances answered by the CORC in 2006 (refer to graph # 11 ).
Of the 14,531 grievances decided by the CORC in 2006, 5,231 or 36%, were determined to be meritorious or have merit in part. In 2005, 5,047 or 33% were found to be meritorious or have merit in part. The number of meritorious grievances in 2006 represents an increase of 184 grievances from 2005.
The CORC dispositions were transmitted back to the grievants in an average of 19 calendar days. This reflects an increase from the 17.8 calendar day average in 2005.
The CORC dispositions were transmitted back to the grievants in an average of 58.3 calendar days from the date filed at the facility. This is an increase of 1.3 calendar days from the calendar day average of 57 in 2005, but well within the 90 calendar day limit mandated by Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations and the Federal Certification.

The 44,484 grievances filed in 2006 reflect a decrease of861 grievance submissions from the 45,345 grievances filed in 2005. Historically, Code 24, Special Housing Units, had been one of the most grieved areas. From 1993 until 1998, it was not ranked among the five highest categories. Since 1998, the five most grieved categories in order of rank have been Staff Conduct, Medical, Housing-Internal Block Affairs, Package Room and Special Housing Units. The grievances filed from the S-Blocks, Southport C.F. and Upstate C.F. had an impact on each of these categories and are the primary reason the Special Housing Units code remains in the top 5 categories.
However, in 2002, Code 49, Staff Conduct, and Code 22, Medical, reversed positions with Code 22, Medical, becoming the lead category. The trends and analysis in each category continue to be consistent with prior years except for the increase in the number of medical grievances, as explained below.
1. CODE 22, MEDICAL
In 2006, the number of medical grievances filed was 8, 193 compared to the 8,303 filed in 2005, a decrease of 110 or 1.3%. Medical grievances accounted for 18.4% of all grievances filed, compared to the 18.3% filed in 2005, an increase of .1 %
The grievances can be attributed to the inmates who regularly file numerous medical complaints for real or perceived medical problems, and do so at any facility in which they are housed. Thus, many of the issues presented remain constant in this category. It is believed that some medical grievances are filed in order to create a record of the grievant's request for medical attention or in an attempt to enhance medical treatment. There are grievances filed where the requested action is cited as a health concern, even though the request may be non-medical in nature. There has been no impact on this category by HIPAA, as evidenced by the decrease in Code 22.1 grievances from the 170 grievances in 2005 to the 151 in 2006.
In some cases, prolific grievants are seriously ill and the number of grievances they file often demonstrate anxiety. Many complain of chronic back pain, arthritis, etc. The anxiety results in grievances because of the time taken to accomplish an outside consult or appointment. This analysis is validated by the repetition in the composition of the complaints. Another factor is the perception on the part of inmates that recommendations made by outside consultants must be implemented without question, when in reality the Facility Health Services Directors evaluate the recommendation and determine the treatment plan for inmates under their care.
Further, an inmate's expectation of specific treatment plans and desired medical services often does not fall within the realm of possibility, nor are they medically indicated by facility doctors. Requests for specialty consultants such as dermatologists, podiatrists, ophthalmologists, allergists, neurologists and various others are common. Requests for medical procedures which are not in accordance with the medical provider's policy or the Department's Health Services Manual, and are not ordered by the Facility Health Services Director, account for some of the medical complaints.
7 In some grievances, a medical condition is cited as the reason for requesting items that are issued on medical order only. These requests are for items such as bed boards, orthopedic shoes, eyeglasses, nutritional supplements, Visine, skin creams, pain medications, medicated shampoos and vitamins. Other examples of special medical requests are single cells, lower bunks, additional showers, special diets, medical appliances and boxer shorts.
In some instances, the medical condition cited by the inmate does not exist according to that inmate's medical record, nor is it a condition already being addressed by the facility health staff. Access to outside health providers is also a factor in the number of medical grievances. The combination of perceived illness and actual illness within the inmate population is expected to continue to account for a portion of the number of medical complaints.
The S-Block, Upstate C.F. and Southport C.F. inmates do not come out of their cells except for visits, disciplinary hearings and if the facility doctor determines it is necessary for a medical examination. These inmates feel they should come out for all medical contacts due to privacy concerns.
An increase in the number of wheelchair inmates brought Americans with Disability Act (ADA) issues such as supplies, higher bed, catheters, outside trips, replacement wheelchairs and aides.
The description of grievances in the medical category is intended to demonstrate the variety of complaints received and is not a complete list of medical grievances.
2. CODE 49, STAFF CONDUCT
In 2006, the number of staff conduct grievances filed was 7,142 compared to the 7,116 filed in 2005, an increase of 26 grievances or .36%. The staff conduct grievances accounted for 16.1% of all grievances filed compared to the 15.7% filed in 2005.
A significant number of staff conduct grievances continues to be attributed to inmate interaction with staff resulting in misbehavior reports. The perception among staff is that some of the harassment complaints resulting from interaction between employees and inmates are filed by the inmates in an attempt to discredit misbehavior reports written by staff and to recover the $5.00 surcharge imposed on inmates for affirmed misbehavior reports. A January 1992 revision of Title 7, NYCRR authorizes the surcharge.
Code 49, Staff Conduct, has remained in the five most grieved categories due to the wide range of issues that could be perceived and presented by inmates as inappropriate staff conduct or harassment. A review of Code 49 grievance titles substantiates that "Staff Conduct" numbers are inflated by inmate perception, any difference of opinion with staff and an inmate's unfamiliarity with facility policies or statewide rules.
For example, direct orders are commonly seen as a form of harassment as noted in the description of events in grievances submitted in this code. An inmate's failure to follow procedures may result in the loss of an opportunity to participate in an activity or to exercise an option. An example of this is when an inmate neglects to respond to announcements concerning the commencement of certain activities or the preparation of a list by staff of inmates who wish
8 to participate in an upcoming activity. This results in the inmate's inability to participate and consequently, the filing of grievances due to the perception of unfair treatment or that staff could have made an exception. The logistics involved in coordinating the activities and movement of large groups of people have not traditionally been readily appreciated by an inmate who files this type of complaint, since the result of such consideration would not support strict adherence to rules governing callouts, attendance and movement.
The examples of grievances in the staff conduct category are intended to demonstrate the variety of complaints received and are not a complete list of staff conduct grievances.
3. CODE 23, HOUSING-INTERNAL BLOCK AFFAIRS
In 2006, the number of Housing-Internal Block Affairs grievances filed was 2,913 compared to 3,206 filed in 2005, a decrease of293 grievances or 9.1 %. The grievances in this code accounted for 6.5% of all grievances filed, compared to the 7 .1 % filed in 2005, a decrease of.6%.
Grievances in this code concern physical housing conditions/issues such as double cell, double bunk, cube space, air circulation/fans, furniture, hot water, heat, window screens and storage space.
Service related grievances include cell cleaning supplies, laundering of clothes and linen, winter blankets, list taking procedures, callout procedures, haircuts, in-cell feed up, maintenance of housing areas and repair of housing areas. Other grievances pertain to supplies, enforcement of cell standards, desired/undesired cell moves, honor block denials, denied items or service, cleanliness, pest control measures, removal from double bunk beds, staff performance of duties, distribution of personal mail, mailboxes, razor issue policy, bulletin boards, posting of memos, announcements over public address system, television cable and radio/television volume.
The noted issues in this category are intended to demonstrate the variety of complaints filed in Code 23; it is not a complete list of housing unit complaints.
4. CODE 30, PACKAGE ROOM
In 2006, the number of package room grievances filed was 2,252 compared to 2,360 filed in 2005, a decrease of 108 grievances or 4.6%. Package room grievances accounted for 5.1 % of all grievances filed, compared to the 5.2% filed in 2005, showing a decrease of .1 % in this code.
Many of the package room complaints result from a difference in security staff and inmate interpretation of Departmental Directive #4911, entitled "Packages & Articles Sent or Brought to Facilities". The governing directive describes items permitted to be received and the provisions thereof. The package room complaints have not substantially changed. The issues include hot pots, typewriters, watches, sneakers, food items and musical instruments. In August 2005, the Package Room Directive #4911, was revised and streamlined. Facilities reported package room grievances challenging the new policies and procedures of the new directive. However, it is expected that the revision will provide a more clear clarification and interpretation of the items allowed through the package room. There has been no major impact on this code as a result of the revision.
9 Other issues still focus around an inmate's desire for items not allowed by directive because they are too valuable and present security concerns, and do not conform to size limitations. Other issues include pennitted items that do not confonn to other requirements of the package room directive, such as packaging for food products, colors of clothing/ undergarments/linens, the opening of package items to be searched and items that require approval of the Superintendent for receipt via special permit.
As in past years, the technological advancement in the design and variety of some allowable items results in their denial, since the item is essentially changed and does not conform to package room guidelines.
Package Room grievances were also affected by the S-Block and Upstate C.F. inmates as a result of their movement from a maximum security keeplock situation to an S-Block or Upstate C.F. The inmate, although not on a loss of packages disposition, falls under the Special Housing Unit (SHU) policies regarding the limitation of packages as outlined in Directive #4933.
The resulting desire for products unacceptable for receipt via the package room impacts the number of grievances filed in this category.
5. CODE 24, SPECIAL HOUSING UNITS
In 2006, the number of SHU grievances filed was 2,045 compared to 1,826 filed in 2005. This is an increase of 219 grievances or 12%. SHU accounted for 4.6% of all grievances filed, compared to 4.0% in 2004, an increase of .6%.
Grievance submissions from the S-Blocks are down 1 IO from 2005. Upstate C.F. and Southport C.F. combined showed a decrease of 1 grievance submission from 2005. Some inmates transferred to these units were coming from maximum security facilities where they were in keeplock status in a general population cell. As a condition of confinement, the inmates must follow the SHU policies consistent with Directive #4933, which limits property in the cell, visits, packages, inmate contact, etc. Therefore, they grieve all aspects of the SHU policies.
Many of these aspects include smoking policy, cell cleanup, Progressive Inmate Movement System (PIMS) level issues, food issues and library materials.
The grievances in this category deal with SHU issues and do not reflect the actual number of grievances filed from SHU.
